Covid 19 vaccinations update
The practice is vaccinating patients against Covid 19.
We strongly recommend vaccination.
We are working in collaboration with the other Rugby GP practices (The Rugby Health Primary Care Network) to administer vaccines at:
Locke House, The Railings, Woodside Park, Rugby, CV21 2AW.
Patients are invited by the practice (by phone or by text message) to make an appointment.
Please ensure that you have told us your current mobile phone or landline number.
You may also be invited to attend the Regional Vaccination Centre at Birmingham or the Area Vaccination Centre at Stoneleigh or to obtain vaccines through hospital or pharmacy sources. All vaccinations are recorded on a national database.
We are following Government guidelines to vaccinate patients in the following order:
1. residents in a care home for older adults and their carers
2. those 80 years of age and over and frontline health and social care workers
3. all those 75 years of age and over
4. all those 70 years of age and over and clinically extremely vulnerable individuals
5. all those 65 years of age and over
6. all individuals aged 16 years to 64 years with underlying health conditions which put them at higher risk of serious disease and mortality
7. all those 60 years of age and over
8. all those 55 years of age and over
9. all those 50 years of age and over
We have offered a vaccination appointment to everyone over the age of 65.
We are currently inviting Group 6 above.
Second doses of vaccinations will begin in March.
If you are over 65 or in groups 1-5 above and have not yet received your first Covid 19 vaccination but would like to do so, please contact the surgery as soon as possible.
If you do not belong to groups 1-5 above:
Please ensure that you have informed us of your mobile phone or landline number.
Please do not contact the practice about appointments until you are invited to do so.
We will contact you as soon as vaccines become available for your group.
